2015 through Facebook (6)

Merry Christmas to all my blog readers from Papua New Guinea (yes I am back in this god-forsaken land)! By the way I finally signed my extended contract yesterday and so it seems that I am stuck here doing the fly-in/fly-out business for a little while longer (till the end of June 2016 as the contract stands now). There is also talk that I might have to do this till the end of next year but at this point it is just talk and there is a lot of "just talk" here in Papua New Guinea which is far easier than doing the real work.

Enough whingeing for now. This will be the last post in my 2015 look-back series (previous posts in this series can be found here - 12345). I wonder how many people look back at what they have put on Facebook for the past year but I can tell those who don't that they should. I had fun going through my previous thoughts, often pausing for a moment to reflect on whether or not I have changed or moved on from that issue. I guess that is what introspection is all about. In this concluding post, the theme will be one that is familiar to all, albeit with a totally gay flavour.

===============================================

Love, Dating, Sex and All Things Gay

===============================================

07-Jan: I FINALLY get why people describe themselves as "sane and sorted" in their profiles on gay dating apps. They are simply trying their best to euphemise "I am an average guy". That's not a euphemism people, it's something that makes you a tool, not cool!

===============================================

18-Jan: If I were to create a gay dating app, I will make sure that it doesn't require "race" to be included as an attribute just like "religion" is not needed as well. This will give people one less reason to filter and discriminate and thus help to open their eyes up to colour-neutral beauty. And talking about eyes, if you have them and still can't get the information you need from my profile picture, you're not intelligent enough to use a dating app.

===============================================

23-Apr: A Grindr profile reads "Prefer younger, race not important".
If race is not important, why does it need to be mentioned at all???

===============================================

30-Apr: I don't usually post people's profiles or pictures but this I really have to share. A guy sent me this photo of himself on Scruff and said "love to dominate you". Seriously WTF right???

===============================================

04-Jun: ...and I did! You should see how I hop like a bunny to the door when Ision comes home from work! I simply get this sudden burst of energy out of nowhere and it's strangely amazing!

===============================================

07-Jun: This is freaking brilliant! Whoever is the first to capitalise on this is sure to make big bucks. The wonderful thing is he doesn't even need to invest much on encryption/security because these men of the cloth get caught so frequently with dicks in them that discretion is not a pre-requisite anymore. The quelling of horniness trumps everything and nothing gets you hornier than living and breathing church 24-Jul.

===============================================

12-Jun: Now that this has taken off, the logical next step is to have an all-Asian version. Only when this happens will I remotely consider working in the service industry!

===============================================

30-Aug: OK, I was thinking of going to this new city joint that features a gay night on Fridays but seeing how twinky it is and how many girls there are based on pictures from the previous week, I am SO glad I did not go. How can a gay night be deemed gay without a hot body in sight or at least one that is topless?

===============================================

07-Oct: I rejected a white guy here in Singapore on Scruff last night and he turned nasty. He said it is my privilege to be with a white guy like him. In my reply, I told him white guys like him in Australia where I live are a dime and dozen and asked him to cherish his white privilege while he still can in this foreign talent-hungry country for he will not have that outside of Asia. I also commented that he should brush up on his native language as he spelt "privilege" wrongly. I concluded by saying that he is a troll and deserves to be blocked, and he was.

===============================================

18-Oct: My friend commented that there's an increasing number of white guys offering gay escort services in Singapore. Here is one of them. These foreign talents do have important skills though, and photoshopping is one of them. Look at the out-of-this-world waist!

===============================================

24-Oct: Was shopping at Mannhaus just now and got quite intrigued by the many models of cute little USB vibrators. Am I getting too ancient or vanilla to be viewing that as novelty? I guess I am in need of a serious brush up on kink. At the other end of the spectrum however, boo was perfectly at home and never fails to leave that shop without a purchase.

===============================================

26-Oct: I think there's a SERIOUS shortage of tops in the Asian gay community all around the world. They should really teach topping as part of the sex-ed curriculum in school!

===============================================

06-Nov: This is every naturist's favourite kind of event and is happening just in time for my upcoming break! I must organise transport and possibly someone to share tents with before I book the tickets though (no one has responded positively so far). I have been to the 2013 event and know it's good. So looking forward to this!

===============================================

13-Nov: I learnt a new term today - a cisgendered person as opposed to a transgendered one. My time with organic chemistry should have made me realise long ago that anything trans will have a cis counterpart! There are just so many sexual and gender permutations in the GLBTI community! For instance, a male lesbian is a male-bodied person who identifies as a lesbian and "ze"/"hir" are gender-neutral pronouns used by gender-variant persons which replace "he/she" and "his/hers" respectively! Since we are on this topic, I finally managed to put an actual name to one of my favourite activities - urolagnia!

===============================================

28-Nov: Pure gold! And I totally agree!

===============================================

30-Nov: Someone with a pictureless profile on Grindr actually dared ask me whether we could meet without him sending a picture over. I cannot believe how many seriously-closeted people there are out there who have the gall to expect others to agree to something like that. Absolutely outrageous!

===============================================

06-Dec: In my opinion, homophobia is worse than misogyny unless your argument is "it's far easier to hide your homosexuality than your gender" or if you are a lesbian. However being female is not a crime in any country whereas being gay is in many so I guess there is no uncertainty there as to which side should stop complaining.

===============================================
07-Dec: Though this is not exactly the reason why I decided to leave Singapore, it is this kind of freedom that pulled me away from my hometown more than 7 years ago. It'll be my first time at this event tonight and I hope it'll be great fun. Nudists in Singapore, eat your hearts out!

===============================================

08-Dec: ADAM was fun but I was again reminded with the "hierarchy of cruising" which is what I hate most about it. I would rather stay in my comfort zone of online admirers than subject myself to predation in the real world where the cruel laws of the food chain are strictly followed.

===============================================

09-Dec: I don't even know why gay men bother to donate blood let alone HIV+ gay men. This is not altruism it is foolishness. If Red Cross is not willing to change its ban on gay blood, IT MEANS THEY DON'T WANT GAY BLOOD! People who can't hear their repeated loud and clear message should get their ears or even their brains checked!

===============================================

14-Dec: This sounds like the plot of a perfect porno. Swap the female stripper with a muscle bear and you'll have a video worth downloading! But seriously, other than the best man being a money-hungry slut, I can't think of any other reason why someone would air such a piece of highly embarrassing dirty laundry in court!

===============================================

14-Dec: Why do I always get requests for free fitness advice on gay dating sites? To be honest I don't take that as a compliment at all. If I want to dole out workout tips, I would become a personal trainer and I am a firm unbeliever of hiring them!
